Tom Petty’s “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” sounds like the Jayhawk’s “Waiting for the Sun”

Although the Jayhawks never brought plagiarism charges against Tom Petty for this soundalike, the similarities are unmistakable. Oh, and I should add the Jayhawks opened for Tom Petty during 1992, and Petty heard “Waiting for the Sun” every night.

    Wow, I never knew about this, I always thought that this Tom Petty song was older than this. The songs are really similar.
